Looking for a musical instrument to inspire you?
There are so many beautiful musical instruments nearby for musicmakers. I have a soft spot for baby instruments - beautifully crafted, indubitably stored and surprisingly cheap.
Musical Instruments Sounds
These small scale instruments - often called trip instruments, baby instruments or mini instruments - offer intimacy and easy handling to songwriters and musicmakers at the day job, crooners on the back porch and dreamers in small bedrooms!
The lower prices of baby instruments suit both professionals wanting a unique sound and beginners wanting a small instrument to play often
How can it be that something smaller is cheaper? From my contact of construction model aeroplanes as a kid, 'smaller' involves so much more effort. (Or was it just the glue?) But much of the baby instrument range is priced low enough to guarantee construction a microscopic creche of 'babies'. And that way they can play together when you're busy.
The size of these trip musical instruments make it possible to have several in your life without clutter
Baby instruments fit discreetly in the corner of your workplace or studio allowing you to take a break and 'have a blow'. (Imagine lawyers, truckies and childcare workers grabbing a occasion to strum their baby mandos or strumsticks to ease tension and bring a microscopic magic into the day!)
Baby instruments are not toys. They have a tangy sound each of their own by nature of the scale and materials used. I love the sweetness and intimacy that these microscopic babies evoke. It's the musical version of 'oh she's so beautiful' usuually bestowed on microscopic animals and humans!
Baby instruments help save songwriters and arrangers from 'Writer's Block'
For songwriters the exquisite antedote to 'writer's block' (we'll talk about that myth someone else time) is to move between musical instruments to find a new understanding and to issue the 'block'. So, widen your soundscape - go into unexplored territory.Often playing an instrument you are Not proficient at leads you to provocative new places in your musicmaking. And we all know how great a instructor a chord book can be in helping us approximate ease and competence on our instruments!
Choose your baby musical instrument of choice and then something way out of your contact from guitars, basses, ukeleles, accordians, banjos and melodicas! Having a choice of beautiful baby instruments will keep you inspired for ages! And in the digital age of 'small is beautiful' you'll get lots of kudos for your socially relevant choice of a baby instrument. Yeah that's right, you'll be the point of interest wherever you go with your 'baby'.
